The 2025 Power Savings Propaganda Contest was launched by the Ministry of Industry and Trade from April 14, 2025 nationwide, to contribute to the implementation of Resolutions of the Party and State on energy saving, the Law on Energy Efficiency and Savings; National Program on Energy Efficiency and Economy for the period 2019 - 2030; Directive No. 20/CT-TTg dated June 8, 2023 of the Prime Minister on strengthening power savings for the period 2023 - 2025 and the following years.

The report of the Organizing Committee of the Contest shows that from April 2025 to the end of receiving the work, 130 entries have been submitted in extremely diverse and rich forms such as comedy, drama, poetry, music, etc. The contest focused on groups of electricity users such as households, buildings, industrial facilities, integrating the policies and guidelines of the Party and State related to energy saving.

With a sense of responsibility and seriousness, the Secretariat of the Contest has screened works according to the criteria of rules (time, format, theme) to select 120/130 works that are eligible for the preliminary round. The preliminary round has scored and selected 56 works with the best content, form and spread to enter the final round.

Speaking after the meeting, Director Nguyen Thi Lam Giang said: With 130 entries submitted to the contest, after the preliminary round, in the final round, there are 22 entries selected for awards. The Organizing Committee found that the works have closely followed the requirements and goals set out in the propaganda of changing the behavior of all classes in society as well as in industrial enterprises, thereby changing the habits in using electricity in a safe, economical and efficient direction.

According to Director Nguyen Thi Lam Giang, with works with images and acting, the Organizing Committee highly appreciates some works that can be classified as music, musicals and especially the very natural acting of actors, many of whom are amateur actors.

I think that works that reflect the breath of life, combining artistic elements such as music or music, often create a strong influence and easily reach the public. Meanwhile, works from the production sector are often representative and somewhat rigid, but this is also a natural characteristic of the creative genre in the production environment said Ms. Nguyen Thi Lam Giang.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Lam Giang, currently the main contestants are power companies, schools, media units, and consulting companies. However, if the award continues to be held in the coming time, it is expected that the Ministry of Industry and Trade can learn from the first season. Thereby, improving professionalism and expanding the scope of participation, especially of units operating in the field of culture and arts.

At the meeting, based on the content and scores of 56 works, the Council worked with the principle of: objectivity, science, fairness, accuracy and transparency, responsibility for reviewing and carefully evaluating each work. The results selected the 22 best works to submit to the Steering Committee for signing the award decision according to the structure. In addition, the Final Judging Council also decided to select the unit with the largest number of entries to award the prize.
